Trial summary

This study will assess the incidence, effect and persistence of F-QRS (Fragmented-QRS) in STEMI (ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction) patients post-PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention). The aim is to add to the existing research field surrounding F-QRS. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: 100 STEMI patients treated with primary PCI.

Who may be able to join

  • Look back to data at least 12 months old in order to ensure 6-week and 6-month follow up data is available. The inclusion criteria will be patients that presented with STEMI and were treated with primary PCI.

Who cannot join

  • From the cath lab reports and clinical letters exclusions apply to patients that did not present with STEMI. In addition, patients that were not treated with primary PCI, or patients that deceased prior, during or post procedure (during hospitalization).

About this study

This study will assess the incidence, effect and persistence of F-QRS (Fragmented-QRS) in STEMI (ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction) patients post-PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention). The aim is to add to the existing research field surrounding F-QRS. It is hypothesised that patients with F-QRS present on the surface ECG, following PCI, will have incurred a higher degree of damage. As a result, it is hypothesised that these patients will have reduced LV (left-ventricular) systolic function, increased incidence of regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMAs), and increased troponin levels on admission. This study will additionally look for correlations between F-QRS and culprit vessels. To our knowledge there is minimal research regarding this.

Read the detailed description

This is a Physiological - Retrospective data collection from STEMI patients. Data from 100 STEMI patients treated with primary PCI will be extracted.

Data will be collected from presentation / initial admission, 6-week post-MI (Myocardial Infarction) clinic and 6 month post-MI clinic from the hospital system at New Cross Hospital. Data from admission includes; 12-lead ECG, echo reports and blood test results. Additionally, the 12-lead ECGs undertaken at 6-week and 6-months will be assessed for the presence of F-QRS.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by The Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals NHS Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

F-QRS measurements (time frame: Over 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jun 2019.
